As he spends time training for a big fight, he struggles to stay close to his girlfriend while raising their child together.

Though Levine appears determined, his girlfriend seems troubled by his bloody profession and lack of financial stability for their daughter and leaves him in the end.

Bill Lamb of About.com gave the song four out of five stars, praising "the catchy reggae-drenched musical production" and "Adam Levine's confident pop vocals".

[7] However, he wrote: "Adam Levine's singing about being guilt-ridden over his part in relationship hell above a sunny musical production is feeling somewhat like formula.

"[7] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy called it "a bouncy, reggae-flecked midtempo with a chorus that feels reassuringly familiar.

"[8] Rick Florino of Artist Direct wrote a very positive review, describing the song: Kicking off with a reggae-style guitar on 'One More Night', the album starts on a subtle yet sharp note.

Mickey Madden's bass is tight and groovy, while James Valentine's riffing reaches its most diverse and dynamic heights yet on this offering.

Matt Flynn lays down some staggering beats, and PJ Morton's keyboards color the soundscapes vibrantly.

[9] Robbie Daw was divided with the song, writing: "On one hand, the employment of these slang terms du jour seem a bit of out of character for the Cali band.

"[10] Fraser McAlpine from BBC Music wrote a more mixed review, commenting: "One More Night's melody can’t go more than a bar or two without repeating – as if the band is worried it may forget itself – or getting stuck on a Morse code note for a while, just like a Rihanna song would.

"[11] Simon Price from The Independent stated that the song is "a piece of electro-reggae that makes Ace of Base sound like Lee "Scratch" Perry.

[26] In its fourth week at the top, the song bested "Gangnam Style" by Psy, a fewer than 700 overall chart points.

[27] At nine weeks on top, it is also Maroon 5's longest Hot 100 reign, besting the four-week stint of "Moves Like Jagger" in 2011.

[42] Following the premiere, Adam Levine participated in a live half-hour webchat on MTV.com with journalist James Montgomery to talk about the video.

[45] At home, he eats a protein-heavy meal and revels in his baby girl's laughter as he holds her high in the air.

[46] Kelly and their child are gone and all that's left are the relics of his profession – trophies, a jump rope, a few pictures and a lone goldfish.

[45] Robbie Daw of Idolator agreed, writing: "We wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the breakup had some impact on the theme for the video.

"[47] However, Daw noted: "The visual, for the most part, strays from the song’s lyrics, which seem to describe a man trying to resist the sexual charms of a woman he realizes he’s not compatible with.

"[50] Melinda Newman of HitFix thought that "The clip is beautifully shot and Levine gets to show off his boxing chops and his abs, but it's a pretty tepid affair all around.

"[51] Emily Exton of Pop Dust commented about the end of the video, writing "Considering he boxes for a living, we'll allow five minutes of wallowing before making requisite 'get back in the ring!'

[53] The band also performed the song during their special concert at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, which was a part of the Live on Letterman concert series on June 26, 2012 – that was the day of the world premiere of the Overexposed album – and on The Today Show, on June 29, 2012,[54] where they also performed their songs "Payphone", "Moves Like Jagger" and "Harder to Breathe".

[56] In December 2012, the band performed "One More Night", in a television special The Grammy Nominations Concert Live, with a medley of their songs "Moves Like Jagger" and "Daylight".

[57] In 2013, Maroon 5 performed the song in two events at Las Vegas including the Consumer Electronics Show on January 7,[58] and the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 21.
